Can anyone help out a member in Perth - wheel needed

[paulgs1000]

Hi all,

Mark our new //M owner has collected his Zed and on the way down has had a rear puncture and is stuck in a travel lodge in Perth!!

Can't locate a replacement tyre (Michelin) only Hankooks available and that's at 11am tomorrow.

I know it's a big ask but anyone up there have a rear that Mark could use - (he could leave a deposit and return the wheel by courier).

I thought it was worth a post - it's a way Mark could get home and only have to replace his one Michelin instead of paying out for Hankooks which he then will replace.

Anyone able to help out a new forumite?

Thanks all

I have a few spare wheels, but miles away im afraid.

Tbh for the hassle just by one tyre to get home then swap out and whack on eBay. Shouldn't loose too much that way.

whats our thoughts on a mis match on the same axle for approx 300 miles ? then as you say take it off when the right Pilot sport becomes available ?

No issue at all over such a distance & majority straight line .
Id fit the nearest cheapest rubber available as a temp fix , he could go anywhere from 225 40 as a temp measure . think about the cars with spacesavers :wink:

Did discuss your suggestion. Don't think he can face the long journey at the reduced speed Rob - going to go for the pair of Hankooks - all he could get. Just want's to get it home and garaged asap and then he'll sort out the Michelins.
